I certainly don't feel welcome to Perl5, given that I'm apparently not
programming in it correctly or something:
"Don't blame Perl for not having to translate your C code."
--Abigail
"You just don't seem to know Perl."
--Abigail
"Perl is not C."
-- Earle Martin
And language family wise, C and Perl are close (compared to, say, Perl and
Erlang).

Don't blame Perl for not having to translate your Perl code.
